got it, if you don’t get enough protein, eat elephant and panda
I’ll take “Animals that eat all day” for 400, Alex
What do you mean humans lack the specialized digestive system that allows these animals to subsist healthily on an herbivorous diet?
Do gorillas eat all day and is their digestive tract so dissimilar from a human’s? Also, I have personally subsisted healthily on an herbivorous diet for almost 25 years now.
They do actually. They eat about 50lbs a day, and their gut biome is specifically adapted to better break down greens to get their protein.
What if gorillas were given body builder supplements and fitness instructions, though? Imagine a gorilla with a fitness routine going at it for a few years. We’ve never seen a gorilla at full strength…
Imagine the average man => Arnold Schwartzenegger in his prime.
Now imagine the average gorilla => ???One farmer says to me, “You cannot live on vegetable food solely, for it furnishes nothing to make bones with”; and so he religiously devotes a part of his day to supplying his system with the raw material of bones; walking all the while he talks behind his oxen, which, with vegetable-made bones, jerk him and his lumbering plow along in spite of every obstacle. Some things are really necessaries of life in some circles, the most helpless and diseased, which in others are luxuries merely, and in others still are entirely unknown.
Henry David Thoreau, Walden
Two pandas then, please.
(this meme is too ambiguous, could’ve dropped ‘me’ part altogether and presented these animals being confused by that statement)
